Amazon's Quick Commerce team is revolutionizing the customer experience through sub-30-minute delivery by rapidly scaling a first-of-its-kind micro-fulfillment network across North America. We are seeking an experienced Senior Construction Manager to serve as a individual contributor responsible for the construction execution and delivery of a portfolio of complex projects.
This role is ideal for an experienced builder who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can independently drive projects through accelerated schedules, evolving requirements, and complex field conditions. The Senior Construction Manager will own construction execution from contractor procurement and mobilization through substantial completion, Certificate of Occupancy, turnover, and launch readiness.
The Senior Construction Manager will partner closely with Pre-Construction, Real Estate, Design, Launch, Operations, Procurement, Legal, and external consultants while directly managing General Contractors and vendors across multiple concurrent projects. This individual will be accountable for delivering projects safely, on schedule, within approved budgets, and to Amazon's quality and operational standards.
Successful candidates bring deep experience in construction management, development, general contracting, architecture, engineering, or owner-side project delivery. The ideal candidate combines strong technical and field expertise with operational rigor, sound judgment, executive communication skills, and the ability to independently resolve complex construction challenges.

A day in the life
A typical day may start with reviewing construction schedules, budgets, and critical risks across several active projects, followed by OAC meetings with General Contractors, designers, and consultants. You'll partner throughout the day with Pre-Construction, Design, Real Estate, Procurement, Launch, and Operations teams to resolve field conditions, RFIs, change orders, permitting challenges, and upcoming milestones. Site visits provide opportunities to validate progress, quality, safety, and operational readiness firsthand. You'll work directly with contractors to remove roadblocks and develop recovery plans when needed, ensuring projects remain on track for turnover and launch for our Operations customers.
